police ID the man who killed ‘Voice’ singer Christina Grimmie

Christina Victoria Grimmie was an American singer and songwriter, known for her participation in the NBC singing competition The Voice and for her covers of hit songs by contemporary pop musicians. In June 2011.

Orlando, Florida (CNN)Police in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday answered one of the major questions in the slaying of Christina Grimmie, the 22-year-old singer who made her name on NBC’s “The Voice.”

The man who shot and killed Grimmie was Kevin James Loibl, 27, of St. Petersburg, Florida, police said.

But they didn’t give any background on Loibl or offer a possible motive.

Grimmie, 22, was signing autographs late Friday after a show at the The Plaza Live theater when a man approached and opened fire, police spokeswoman Wanda Miglio said. Grimmie was rushed to a hospital, where she died.

It’s unclear how the gunman got a gun into the venue or whether attendees were checked for weapons.

“We don’t know if he was just a crazy fan that followed her on Twitter or on social media,” Miglio said. “We really don’t know … it’s undetermined at this point.”

Security measures are in place at The Plaza Live, police say, but there are no metal detectors and people are not patted down.

“As far as security, The Plaza does have security guards who wear polo shirts. They are unarmed,” Mina said. “They do check bags and purses as people enter.”
